CLUSTAL W multiple alignment (CNRS IBCP)

PASSED

Description

Global multiple alignment of several sequences of proteins with the ClustalW algorithm.

Usage

You need to provide the following input arguments to the service:

  • “Sequences” : the set of sequences of proteins to align. These sequences must be stored in Pearson-Fasta format

The outputs of the service are:

  • “Status”: the status of the query
  • “JobId”: the JobId in the remote service environment
  • “Alignement”: the aligment of the query sequences generated with the ClustalW algorithm

More help about the usage of this Web service can be find with this schematic view, with this example of Taverna workflow.

Test #1: ClustalW WS: test of bioinformatics availability

This test is submitting a small test of protein sequences to the ClustalW Web services, to evaluate the bioinformatics availability of this Web service:

  • the WS is operational
  • the WS is answering a multiple alignment
  • this multiple alignment is the good one (a comparaison is done against a reference one)
